It is free, and it will stay free
No ads. No accounts. Nothing watching you. Every word here is open for anyone to read, quote, or build on.
There is no company behind this dictionary and no funding. It is kept alive by one person's evenings and a small monthly bill for the servers that hold ten thousand words, their meanings, and the recordings of how they sound.
It exists for a simple reason. A child growing up far from Kerala, a student meeting a hard word for the first time, a parent trying to explain what something really means: they should all be able to reach for Malayalam at any hour, on any phone, without paying and without being tracked. That is worth protecting.
If a word here helped you today, you can leave a small tip. It goes straight into keeping this online and adding the next thousand words, one at a time. Even a single coffee genuinely helps, and so does simply telling a friend the site exists.
Payment is handled by Buy Me a Coffee. We never see your card details. Giving is entirely optional, and the whole dictionary stays free whether you do or not.
Thank you for reading this far. That alone means something.
